Campus Support

Food

In addition to products for Purdue Dining & Culinary operations, Strategic Sourcing can help academic units and campus departments source food and food-related products for teaching, research, programs, and events. Food purchases submitted through Ariba are reviewed by Strategic Sourcing. For recurring needs, Strategic Sourcing may establish Standing Orders.

Vending

Strategic Sourcing is responsible for the execution of agreements for the installation and operation of all vending machines on campus. For service issues on vending machines on campus, please provide the building name and location of the machine, contact person, type of vending machine, and the issue that you are experiencing. If it is a Coca-Cola machine, please provide the outlet number listed on the tag on the front of the machine and send the information to vending@purdue.edu.

Requests to relocate or install new vending machines should be submitted to vending@purdue.edu. Proposed locations will be reviewed prior to installation. Site preparation costs associated with electrical work, water lines, or other infrastructure requirements may be the responsibility of the requesting department, depending on the location and funding model.
